   I suspect most people abandoning #Twitter / #X are signing up for @threads as their replacement.

   This is good for the #Fediverse long term, although I think in the short term we will witness a stagnation of most #ActivityPub platforms.

     @feyter @threads @theverge The primary long term benefit is that #Threads would inspire more blog platforms & other centralized social networks to join the #Fediverse.

     In the short term, Threads will stunt the growth of most micro status #ActivityPub platforms (which is what we are witnessing now).

     I don't see how one centrally controlled platform by Meta, that is trying hard to hide that other instances exist, would be good for the #fediverse in the long term.

     It's not even good for the people switching. Meta already started to acting in the same way Twitter did with silencing unwanted political voices, e.g. during last french election.
